It has been a life altering week for Benjy and I. I know we both want to hug a little tighter, sit a little longer, pray a little harder and appreciate a lot more! On Tuesday of last week a teacher at the girls' school walked into work, felt a little sick, dizzy and started to fall. Another teacher caught her and they called an ambulance and later that day passed away from a brain aneurysm. She was a middle aged teacher, I don't know her exact age, but she looked so young, so vibrant and touched so many lives. So drastic, so fast and so unexpected.
On Wednesday Benjy's boss' 19 year old son took his own life. So young, so vibrant, so much going for him, touched so many lives in his short 19 years on this earth and yet so drastic, so tragic and so unexpected.
I can't help but hug a little tighter, sit a little longer, pray a little harder and appreciate A LOT more!
Here is a very nice tribute to this young man.

It does make you ponder. We had a similar tragedy in our area this last week. You're right. We all need to hug a little tighter and longer.
Oh my goodness Im so sorry for all of the losses that you have had this last week. I'll do it...Hug a little longer...all of it. Miss you girl. Wish I could give you a big hug. My prayers are with you and those families.
The teacher that passed away was a friend of mine at work son's teacher. How sad. I know that she was very loved there and the children she taught loved her. It really makes you value each day you have with your loved ones and makes you appreciate everything more.
Both of those are so sad. Life is so fragile and it's sad that it takes things like this for us to really step back and appreciate all of our blessings. I'm so sorry for their losses.
We are so sorry for the loss. Tell Benjy I got his email and it was good to get it from him. We love you and tell the kids hi from uncle Danny.
Danny
